Deer Bark Boarding

Deer Bark Boarding is a home-based kennel offering dog boarding and daycare in Deer Park, WA, set on 40 acres of farmland and mountains. It is a Fear Free Certified facility, a credential focused on lowering the fear, anxiety, and stress dogs can feel away from home. Dogs stay in climate-controlled private suites, each with doggy door access to a private 10'x6' covered outdoor run. Published rates run $30 to $39 per night.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding in climate-controlled private suites
• Doggy daycare
• Private 10'x6' covered outdoor runs with doggy door access
• A 4,000 square foot fenced outdoor play yard
• Medication administration, grooming, and a go-home bath

What makes it different

Attention is individual rather than pack-style. Fetch sessions happen one-on-one in the fenced yard, and owners receive photo updates during the stay. Enrichment extras are available, including a go-home bath so dogs come back clean. The Fear Free certification is the piece that matters most for dogs who find kennels stressful, and medication administration is part of the care offered. The kennel serves Deer Park and the wider Spokane area.
